The 26-year-old Moldovan-born fighter, stationed in Plymouth, successfully defended his titles in August with a technical knockout win over Ben Vaughan. Ursu has been offered two IBO world title fights, but insists he is ready to step up if the offers change. After 16 victories in his professional career, Ursu wants to defend his Lonsdale belt twice more to preserve its legacy. He acknowledges that he did not perform at his peak in his last fight, expressing a desire to give his all in the upcoming fight.",
